Who Am I?

I’m Elana, a dedicated facilitator and educator with a passion for the performing arts and a deep appreciation for the power of community building. I’m also a Taiwanese-American Third Culture Kid, and currently live in Barcelona, Spain. When I take off my educator ‘hat,’ you will often find me reading, dancing salsa, and scuba diving. Oh - and my favorite food is sushi.

What Can You Expect in my Workshops?

In my world, every interaction is an opportunity for growth and discovery. In my workshops, I create inclusive and empowering spaces where individuals can explore their identities, build connections, and discover their unique voices. Whether through interactive workshops, immersive performances, or thought-provoking discussions, I’m committed to fostering creativity, empathy, and resilience with my students. Moreover, FUN and PLAY are also two key parts of my pods - they’re always a joy!

What Drives Me?

At the heart of my work, I truly believe in the power of human connection and the potential for positive change. I love to see the progress as it’s happening, and feel honored when I get to be a part of it. I believe that play is the best way to learn, and it’s my goal to share the joy of learning by doing with you!

Join the Journey!

So, are you ready to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery? Whether you’re a student eager to unleash your creativity or a client seeking meaningful experiences for your team, there’s a place for you in my workshops. Together, let’s dive into the endless possibilities of the human experience and unlock the full potential of our imaginations.

Join me, and let’s explore together!
